Not that well...the Embark Travel Blanket got swapped out for a poncho-liner underquilt. The heat has been nutso here in Indiana, so I haven't had a chance to really test it, but I was pretty hot in 70 degrees with it. I've heard of people going down to 50-55 with one.

However, I'll definitely end up using the travel blanket as insulation for a dog bed once it gets cold enough for it.

I`m in clarke nx 250 for summer Kifaru woobie x2 one under one over , for winter Carinthia survival down sleeping bag plus down exped mat never been cold even below 28 c

the cheapest hammock with a insect net

I am looking for the cheapest hammock with a insect net. So far, I am considering the Byer of Maine Moskito Traveller Hammock for about $40 and the Grand Trunk Ultralight Skeeter Beeter Hammock for about $60. Are their cheaper alternatives with a net?

I also plan on getting a camo tarp; any suggestions? Thanks.

Byer hammock I'd pass on, the lines they use to suspend the hammock (instead of a traditional gathered end or other type of hammock) aren't very trustworthy. I'd look elsewhere. Also, the bug netting is very thin.

After my purchases and trial & error, I think DIY is the way to go, unless you can find a used setup somewhere.
